Timeless (10) ...On the way... Pe drum ...( Noaptea muzeelor/ Nuit européenne des musées * | European Night of Museums | 16 Mai 2015)This is how I finished my previous post: "The night is on the way to have more surprises at every corner... at this cultural and historical, european event..."Indeed, the night at the museums, as a free event, it becomes quite popular, year after year, and so I could saw and felt, same time, that it has a huge impact over the youth and, to be fair, actually to the people of all ages, various ages and typologies, with the huge desire of openly receive socio-cultural informations, to update their knowledge through the exhibitions or galleries involved ...

So...to continue our way, in the night, celebrating the museums, through the special places open to visit, we came from the Lipscani, from the library to the "Romanian Design Week"...at Hanul Gabroveni.

"Gabroveni Inn*: Built in 1739 on a land plot belonging to the former Voivodal Court (which was much larger than the present-day ruins of the Old Court—Romanian: Curtea Veche—show), the inn belonged to the "Inner Town" (Romanian: Târgul Dinlǎuntru), the inside section of Bucharest's Fortress. The inn was raised by Prince Constantin Mavrocordat, who decided to have a bezesten (the word is Turkish, meaning "large, square building, hosting shops all around, like in marketplaces"). These shops could only be rented by foreign merchants during the period they stayed in Bucharest doing business.The inn was also known during the 18th century as Hanul Bezesten ("Bezesten Inn"), because it resembles a Turkish bezesten, boasting large shades covering almost the whole street on the sides. Merchants from the famous crafts town of Gabrovo used to lodge at the inn when selling their products in the city. The inn was named after these merchants, as was the street on which it is located, a name that has survived into the 21st century." * Click to read for meore info about Hanul Gabroveni/ Gabroveni Inn.

The peony * is a flowering plant in the genus Paeonia, the only genus in the family Paeoniaceae. They are native to Asia, Southern Europe and Western North America. Boundaries between species are not clear and estimates of the number of species range from 25 to 40.
Name
The peony is named after Paeon (also spelled Paean), a student of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine and healing. Asclepius became jealous of his pupil; Zeus saved Paeon from the wrath of Asclepius by turning him into the peony flower.
The family name "Paeoniaceae" was first used by Friedrich K.L. Rudolphi in 1830, following a suggestion by Friedrich Gottlieb Bartling that same year. The family had been given other names a few years earlier.

*Excerpts from the trailer, above.

"Last Chance Harvey"** este un film, co-producție britanico-americană (2008), o dramă romantică scrisă și regizată de Joel Hopkins. Scenariul se concentrează pe doi oameni singuri care își crează provizoriu o relație pe parcursul a trei zile. Dustin Hoffman joacă rolul un compozitor american care își pierde slujba, dar, și poziția sa de tatăl al miresei în cursul unei singure zile, în timp ce Emma Thompson, interpretează un lucrător aeroportuar cu o viziune preconcepută asupra relatiilor. "
"Last Chance Harvey is a 2008 British-American romantic drama film written and directed by Joel Hopkins. The screenplay focuses on two lonely people who tentatively forge a relationship over the course of three days. Dustin Hoffman plays an American composer who loses his job and his position of father of the bride in the course of a single day overseas while Emma Thompson plays an airport worker with a jaundiced view of relationships."

..."With his job on the line, Harvey travels to London for his daughter’s wedding, where in a chance encounter at the airport he meets Emma Thompson’s Kate, who works there for the Office of National Statistics, and together, over the course of 24 hours, they inch their way towards falling in love. The story’s simplicity, however, is belied by the complexities that go with being two older people, struggling against their fear of a new, potentially profound, relationship."

I enjoy travelling and documenting to find out new & old things, to see world and people with one drop of positive attitude... from a huge sense of wonder... But before all, it was William Blake who beautifully said it:
"To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour. (...)
Fragments from "Auguries of Innocence".
Also, "It’s never too late (...) to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same; there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again." excerpt by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Motto: "Zi gong (a disciple of Confucius) asked: "Is there any one word that could guide a person throughout life?" The Master replied: "How about 'shu' [reciprocity]: never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself?" Confucious, Analects XV.24

An 'architectonic view'. Another walk from Spring (II)

Motto: "Just as things in a picture, when viewed from a distance, appear to be all in one and the same condition and alike." "Neither family, nor privilege, nor wealth, nor anything but Love can light that beacon which a man must steer by when he sets out to live the better life." Plato

Springtime in April

A Spring sequence. "I have decided to be happy because it's good for my health." "Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well." Voltaire

Sakura in April

"A cherry blossom is the flower of any of several trees of genus Prunus, particularly the Japanese cherry, Prunus serrulata, which is called sakura after the Japanese (桜 or 櫻; さくら)." "The significance of the cherry blossom tree in Japanese culture goes back hundreds of years. In their country, the cherry blossom represents the fragility and the beauty of life. It's a reminder that life is almost overwhelmingly beautiful but that it is also tragically short." Source Internet/Wikipedia

"Names and etymology"* "The Latin name Dānuvius is one of a number of "Old European" river names derived from a Proto-Indo-European *dānu. Other river names from the same root include the Don, Donets, Dzvina/Duna, Dysna, Dnieper and Dniestr. (...) "The Latin name is masculine (as is the name of the Rhine). German Donau (Early Modern German Donaw, Tonaw, Middle High German Tuonowe) is feminine, as it has been re-interpreted as containing the suffix -ouwe "wetland". The modern languages spoken in the Danube basin all use names derived from Dānuvius: German: Donau ([ˈdoːnaʊ̯]; Bavarian: Doana; Yiddish: Duney דוניי‎ [dʊnɛj]); Silesian: Důnaj; Upper Sorbian: Dunaj; Slovak: Dunaj ([ˈdunaj]); Hungarian: Duna ([ˈdunɒ]); Croatian: Dunav ([dǔnaʋ]; Serbian: Dunav / Дунав ([dǔnaʋ] or [dǔnaːʋ]); Romanian: Dunărea ([ˈdunəre̯a]); Romani: Dunaja ([ˈdunaja]); Bulgarian: Дунав Dunav ([ˈdunɐf]); Ukrainian: Дунай Dunai ([duˈnɑj])."Source Wikipedia

"The Black Sea* is a sea in Southeastern Europe. It is bounded by Europe, Anatolia and the Caucasus and is ultimately connected to the Atlantic Ocean via the Mediterranean and the Aegean Seas and various straits. The Bosphorus Strait connects it to the Sea of Marmara, and the Strait of the Dardanelles connects that sea to the Aegean Sea region of the Mediterranean. These waters separate eastern Europe and western Asia. The Black Sea is also connected to the Sea of Azov by the Strait of Kerch." *click for more info on Wikipedia.

"In the end, what we have is a conversation, a lifelong dialogue with life. It’s a conversation expressed not in words but in the immediacy of experience and the poetry of the one, single now. And that is exactly where the experience of sacredness lives."

"I am alone amidst the trees at the lake’s edge, I live in friendship with the shore’s old firs and in secret understanding with all the young rowans. Alone I lie and wait, I have seen no one walk by. Great flowers look down on me from tall stems, bitter creepers climb in my embrace, I have a single name for everything, and that is love."
